Trouble making the text in scrolling credits (made on Final Cut Express) export clear and not fuzzy

     I am having difficulty making the text in the scrolling credits in Final Cut Express clear and not fuzzy. I went under effects, then clicked video generators, then text, then scrolling text to get the scrolling credits working. I tried using the Chroma Keyer effect and the Color Key Effect. These work on captions on video and beginning titles but not the scrolling text. All of those were made on livetype so maybe that is why. I would really appreciate some help. I've been working on this all day. I was on the technical support line for about 40 minutes and they told me there is no more help given over the phone for Final Cut Express and that I should go on here and see if anyone can answer my question. I looked on all the forums and there was nothing on this subject. Thanks.

The software is not doing what it should be doing.  We have all had this type of problem.  It is nearly always somehow in the way the software is being used.  Look at your added Chromakey and color key.  You must be doing something that the FCE does not like.  Open a new project and new sequence and try the exact same thing.  (I use titles from LiveType and from the effects tab and have no problems)

    You can have them both on the same computer as I and many others have done for years.
    Just go ahead and install FCS 3 normally.
    There will be absolutely no problems.

  • Does the Sony DCR-HC32 camcorder work with Final Cut Express 3.5?

    I was just wondering if the Sony DCR-HC32 camera model works for the Macbook or Final Cut Express 3.5. I am really interested in getting the Macbook for video editing. Thanks

    Yes.
    Sony calls it iLink, Apple calls it firewire and the techos call it IEEE 1394.
    All are one and the same.
    You will require a 4-6 pin iLink cable that can be obtained from just about any computer or electrical store. Get a good quality sheilded cable no longer than 2 metres or shorter if you setup allows.

  • Do the Mac Pro comps come loaded with Final Cut Express 4?

    I have Final cut Express 3.5 which i bought for my G5 mac. but i'm moving to a Mac Pro soon and i heard that it may not be compatible in snow leopard.
    I know the Mac store includes FCE 4 with your mac pro purchase( they allow you to select between FCE , iWorks, etc) but does FCE 4 come with the mac pro if you buy in your town's mac store?

    If you have a retail version of FCE3.5 and your original serial number, you can purchase an upgrade to FCE4 and save $100.

  • I cleared out a movie I made in final cut pro, now fcp will not open completely, I get the logo with all the names running through but never get timeline, browser or anything else?  Help!!  Larry

    I removed a movie I had made and now when I try to open final cut pro, all the stuff shows up with the names, etc, but that is it, I don't get anything else, and, final cut does not show at the top of my computer.  I have the 27 inch iMac with the intel processor, any help will be appreciated.  Larry

    Sounds like you may have deleted more than just the movie file.  It the FCP application in the Applications folder?  if so, try launching from there.  If not, you'll neeed to uninstall the app completely using this: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/  then reinstall from the original install discs.
    You may want to first try trashing FCP's preferences.

  • What is the correct way to import AVCHD into Final Cut Express?

    The Final Cut Expres user manual (p. 221) says to import AVCHD footage with HDV Apple Intermediate Codec: "Important: Use the HDV - Apple Intermediate Codec Easy Setup for ingesting AVCHD footage."
    But, Easy Setup has options for both HDV AIC AND AVCHD AIC.  Why are there choices for AVCHD if the manual says to import AVCHD with HDV?

    The manual is incorrect/human error/typo.
    HDV and AVCHD do share the Apple Intermediate Codec as all this incoming footage will be converted to AIC so FCE can work with it on a frame by frame basis.
    Call up the FCE>Easy Setups and look at the options.
    You will notice 6 options (FCE 4.0.1) for 1080i with differing frame sizes and frame rates.
    Only ONE of these is correct for the type of footage to be captured/ingested from the camera.
    You need to know what the camera settings are, then output to FCE with an exact matching Easy Setup.
    These days one camera can be set to different options making this decision one based on knowing how to operate the camera menu and select the right options.
    When an FCE Easy Setup is changed only NEW Sequences will reflect the change not existing ones. In fact, in many cases, if the Easy Setup and incoming footage don't match it simply won't work causing the user to curse the Apple software.
    First step is to select the correct Easy Setup then capture/ingest.
    For AVCHD it will be an AVCHD - Apple Intermediate Codec........................
    Example:
    Camera has shot AVCHD 1920x1080i50
    Easy Setup will be AVCHD - Apple Intermedaite Codec 1920x1080i50
    The above example is for PAL interlaced, that's what i50 means.
    NOTE:   FCE will not work directly with p (progressive) footage so make sure your camera shoots i (interlaced).

  • Made a 2 minute edit on Final Cut Express but at the 30 seconds (after I exported), there's a clip showing up that is not in my project, a clip i don't want in there, a glitch, how can I correct this problem? I don't want to start over again :(

    Basically, I have 2 problems:
    1) When I export it shows this clip that's not in my normal project and it ruins my project by having this clip in there; it's like a glitch. I tried to change the clip, and and still doesn't make the project normal again. Tried a new sequence and dragging the project into HD Mode and to no avail.
    My camera:
    HD: 1080p
    Settings: At Hd
    2)
    Also, it's only displaying black bars above my project, even after exporting at 720p. I just don't want this random clip in my project or the black bars. I'm using Final Cut Express. Does anyone have any possible idea what this could be? Any help woud be much appreciated! I'm clueless on this.
    IS ANYBODY OUT THERE?  : )

    1) Is it a video clip? Something you recognize?  To be clear, it's displaying at a point in your exported movie but doesn't appear at all in the sequence?
    2) What are your sequence settings?  Right-click your sequence and choose "Item Properties" to verify.

    After reinstalling with FCS Remover, you need to update everything to the latest version including ProKit.

  • Why is Final Cut Express adding 5 minutes of black to the end of my .dv export?  I've marked it out, there are no additional clips at the end, it's doing this consistantly.

    I'm using Final Cut Express 4.0 and when I export to .dv it adds 5 minutes of black to the end of my export.  Any ideas on why this is happening?  I have it marked out and there are no additional clips at the end that it's trying to capture.

    According to previous posts in this forum, Apple does not support FCE with Lion, no less Mountain Lion. Nonetheless some people report no problems using FCE with Lion, depending upon upgrade protocols from Leopard etc. You list FEC 4.0, but FCE has an update to 4.01 free download from software update.

  • How do I eliminate shaky text from scrolling credits?

    I have added scrolling credits to a video and the scroll is not smooth.  There is no stabilization or shutter roll mechanism to use with built-in, FCPX text and titles.  So, how do I eliminate the shake from scrolling credits?

  • I have an iphone 4s and the text i send to a friend with a galaxy 4s he is not receiving any help?

    i have an Iphone 4S and the text i send to a friend with a galaxy 4s he is not receiving. Any help?

    Then it's sending as SMS and not iMessage (that's good) so deleting the contact probably didn't help. It also seems iMessage isn't redirecting his texts as he's not used and apple device on the account previously. Can he receive a picture message from you instead? Does he receive texts from other  apple devices? (iPhones,pods/pads) try sending a text through Verizon online using your account on a web browser. If it is also blocked then it confirms the issue is with his device, well at least points you there rather than guessing if it's yours or his or both. There's some ideas, let me know- Joe

  • "The Microsoft Exchange Administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook" in Exchange 2013

    In Exchange 2013, Outlook finds a new connection point made up of the user’s mailbox GUID + @ + the domain portion of the user’s primary SMTP address. This change makes
    it much less likely that users will see the dreaded message “Your administrator has made a change to your mailbox.”
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd298114(v=exchg.150).aspx
    Although the error message in the topic has been already improved a lot in Exchange 2013, the users may still encounter them in some specific scenarios. We have collected them and let’s discuss them in this thread.
    Symptom
    =======================================
    Consider the following scenario:
    Exchange 2013 was installed for a migration from Exchange 2007/2010.
    The legacy Exchange server is removed after successful migration.
    Exchange 2013 may be updated to Exchange 2013 SP1.
    Some users were being randomly prompted with a popup in their outlook client with the following message when connecting with Exchange 2013 server:
    “The Microsoft Exchange Administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook”
    Cause
    =======================================
    The issue may be caused due to Public Folders.
    The msExchHomePublicMDB attribute on Exchange 2013 databases was set to deleted legacy public folder object.
    Solution
    =======================================
    Removed the Public Folder from all the Exchange
    2013 Databases. To do it, we can use ADSIedit.msc and remove the arrtibute - msExchHomePublicMDB from all the Databases:
    1. Open ADSIEdit.
    2. Connect to the Configuration container.3.
    Expand Configuration, expand CN=Configuration,DC=Domain,DC=com.4. Expand CN=Services -> CN=Microsoft Exchange -> CN=Domain -> CN=Administrative Groups -> CN=Exchange
    Administrative Group -> CN=Databases.5. In the right hand pane you will see a list of databases.6.
    Right-click the listed database object -> Properties.7. Check whether the msExchHomePublicMDB value is set to an unavailable value. If you see reference to the old database,
    please clear the value.8. Click OK.9. Check the rest of the databases to make sure
    that they are not populated in the same way.

  • Exchange 2013 SP1 users randomly prompted with "The Microsoft Exchange Administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook"

    I got a call to check an issue with a Exchange Server 2013 SP1 environment recently. All server was upgraded from Exchange server 2013 CU2 to Exchange Server 2013 SP1. It was done successfully but many users were being randomly prompted with a popup in their outlook
    client with the following message:-
    “The Microsoft Exchange Administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook”
    Although there wasn’t any changes of late in the environment there were random popups like these for multiple users. As the behaviour was not consistent and effecting the entire upgration population
    Please suggest us how to resolve the issue.

    Hi,
    Does the issue happen to all Outlook 2013 users? Please create a new Outlook profile to have a try.
    If it fails, please check the msExchHomePublicMDB value in ADSI Edit:
    1. In Adsiedit, expand Configuration-->CN=Services -> CN=Microsoft Exchange -> CN=domain -> CN=Administrative Groups -> CN=Exchange Administrative Group -> CN=Databases.
    2. Right-click the listed database > Properties.
    3. Check whether the msExchHomePublicMDB value is set to an available value. Please change the value to <not set>.
    4. Click OK.
    Then check whether the issue persists.
    Thanks,

  • I am making a graduation video for my cousin using Final Cut Pro. I have photos layered over videos, and I was wanted to find out how you can add a border around the photos so they stand off of the video. Anyone know what I could do?

    I am making a graduation video for my cousin using Final Cut Pro. I have photos layered over videos, and I was wanted to find out how you can add a border around the photos so they stand off of the video. Anyone know what I could do?

    You would need an image editor to edit the images and add a border to the image first before importing them into Final Cut.
    Cheapest and very good image editor?
